[Queanbeyan Demon 6,865]

Norf, based of exposed form, will pull our pants down.

Sounds like our form is going to be exposed.

Clayton’s hand reinjured at training…clearly hasn’t been right all year. 

Any mention of how long?

[Superunknown 4,223]

At $5.50, north seem like crazy value

No mention that he will miss, but they were doing a tackling drill and Kolt got Clarry and he got up grimacing and holding his hand.

I thought the guys were on a 6 day break? Was there a training session?

A bloke from an inner suburb  on the north western side of town said he  thought he heard something went on down at the local in regard to wagering.

They are. It ended today. If there was a training session today (on a Sunday?) they weren’t all in attendance.

edit: they did train today. Not all were in attendance

After watching North vs Pies today I would say that North are red-hot favourites to [censored] us next week. 

After watching north for 12 rounds id say they are red hot favourites for the spoon

[Ethan Tremblay 30,966]

North currently paying $5.50 via SB. Juicy odds, definitely worth a cupla pineapples.

If it was / is that dodgy he was probably a week to week proposition anyway.

Then you have to ask, why did we play him vs Brissy when all the signs and the timing said don't.  He even came off the track after the Cap run that week and looked very worried, chatting to trainers for at least 3 to 5 mins.

Give him that week off, get the opp, then another 4 to 6 to fully heal.  He's back for the Saints match (latest).

Instead we gave him the bye to get over the opp and straight back into it again for Anzac eve.  Has never looked fully right besides maybe one or two reasonable games since.

He effectively missed the pre-season, and has been playing catch-up ever since. Regardless of what's going on with his hand, he's never going to be fully right until next year.

The players were mostly back today for the mid season breakfast meeting with their club sponsor. Training was after breakfast and I was told the emphasis was on goal kicking. From what I saw on the news the emphasis was on tackling and pressure (Clarrie came uo saw in a wrestling match with Kolton).

I believe McVee wasn't available not sure if he has an injury. I would really like to see him in the midfield for a stint.

Our best in form wins came against Port Adelaide, Hawthorn and Western Bulldogs.

Can't count St Kilda as a one of our best wins lol. They're absolutely crud..

No coincidence that BB played alright in those games where we had blokes like ANB and Langdon playing their natural position. 

And beating the previously-undefeated Cats. Which feels like it was in a different season. 

[buck_nekkid 6,046]

Pies were bad first half.  Loading?  Were witches hats for Norf training run.  Switched on 2nd half and shot them lame duck that the shinbones are.  We got this.

Yep.

Unfortunately same goes for petty, McAdam, BBB and possibly tmac (I say possibly because tmac has looked in remarkably good nick given he had an interrupted preseason).

What would you like her to say ? “We fully back and support our coach and his staff”

Jon Ralph had a red hot crack at her last week on Foxtel's mid week tackle.

He said you never hear from her in the tough times.
